Looking for a creative outlet that's a bit different than the norm? Come along to this collage workshop in Salford and make your own odd creature illustration using cut paper.
Through this workshop, you will learn how to use paper as an illustration technique combined with other materials to create your own creature character. Under the guidance of your friendly host, you will be encouraged to use your imagination to give your character a name, a backstory, and imagine the world they inhabit.
Collage is a very forgiving medium, so it's ideal for newcomers to the art world, but you'll still have plenty of guidance throughout to make sure you're making the most of the class.
By the end of the workshop, you'll have a one-of-a-kind creature, along with the skills to continue exploring papercraft and character design on your own.

Creating space to connect;
We create analogue art experiences that invite people to unplug create, and connect. Using tactile materials, intuitive collaging, and, our special sauce - the satisfying clickety-clack of typewriters. Our touring art workshop is all about slowing down, getting hands-on, and making space for creativity and irl human connection.
Cutting, layering, typing, and experimenting in ways that feel playful and accessible to everyone is what we love to facilitate.
We used to be at one static location but decided to go back to our roots and take the workshops on tour! - As we travel from place to place, the workshop has become a welcoming creative space where community forms through the simple act of making together, passing around materials, swapping stories, and encouraging each other’s work.
At Creative Lab It’s really not about polished outcomes or elite artistic skill, but about presence, expression, and the joy of creating something meaningful by hand, connecting with others and enjoying the sense of well-being that comes from all that in-person, analogue, arty goodness.
